<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>METHANEX Q3 EARNINGS UP 80% OVER SECOND QUARTER</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>October&nbsp;22, 2008</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">For the third quarter of 2008, Methanex reported Adjusted EBITDA<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">1</SUP> of $140.4&nbsp;million and
net income of $70.9&nbsp;million ($0.75 per share on a diluted basis). This compares with Adjusted
EBITDA<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">1</SUP> of $78.9&nbsp;million and net income of $38.9&nbsp;million ($0.41 per share on a diluted
basis) for the second quarter of 2008.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Bruce Aitken, President and CEO of Methanex commented, &#147;Methanol prices remained strong in the
third quarter and we achieved an average realized price of $413 per tonne. The stable price
environment led to a significant improvement to our purchased methanol margins which contributed to
significantly higher earnings. &#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#147;Entering the fourth quarter, methanol prices have moderated. However, with the recent decline in
prices, we have seen some tightening on the supply side of the industry with high cost capacity in
China either shutting in or switching to fertilizer production. In addition, a major unplanned
outage at a competitor plant has impacted global industry supply.&#147;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#147;We have seen softness in demand for methanol for some derivatives and the global financial crisis
poses uncertainty for our business. However, to date overall global methanol demand has been
relatively stable. Demand into new energy applications in China has been healthy, and with the
onset of winter, we expect demand into these uses to continue to be steady.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#147;We completed the restart of our larger plant in New Zealand at the end of the third quarter, which
added 450,000 tonnes of annualized production to our asset base. Longer term, with our Egypt
Project, gas exploration and development activities in southern Chile, and upside potential in New
Zealand, we are well positioned to significantly increase our production and cash generation
capability in the future.&#147;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Mr.&nbsp;Aitken concluded, &#147;With US$358&nbsp;million of cash on hand at the end of the quarter, a strong
balance sheet and a US$250&nbsp;million undrawn credit facility, we believe we are well positioned to
meet our financial commitments related to the Egypt methanol project, invest to accelerate natural
gas development in southern Chile, pursue other strategic initiatives, and continue to deliver on
our commitment to return excess cash to shareholders.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">A conference call is scheduled for Thursday, October&nbsp;23, 2008 at 10:30 am EST (7:30 am PST) to
review these third quarter results. To access the call, dial the Telus Conferencing operator ten
minutes prior to the start of the call at (416)&nbsp;883-0139, or toll free at (888)&nbsp;458-1598. The

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Information contained in this press release and the attached Third Quarter 2008 Management&#146;s
Discussion and Analysis contains forward-looking statements. Certain material factors or
assumptions were applied in drawing the conclusions or making the forecasts or projections that are
included in these forward-looking statements. Methanex believes that it has a reasonable basis for
making such forward-looking statements. However, forward-looking statements, by their nature,
involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
contemplated by the forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties include those attendant
with producing and marketing methanol and successfully carrying out major capital expenditure
projects in various jurisdictions, the ability to successfully carry out corporate initiatives and
strategies, conditions in the methanol and other industries including the supply and demand balance
for methanol, the success of natural gas exploration and development activities in southern Chile
and New Zealand and our ability to obtain any additional gas in that region on commercially
acceptable terms, actions of competitors and suppliers, actions of governments and governmental
authorities, our ability to access credit on commercially reasonable terms, changes in laws or
regulations in foreign jurisdictions, world-wide economic conditions and other risks described in
our 2007 Management&#146;s Discussion &#038; Analysis and the attached Third Quarter 2008 Management&#146;s
Discussion and Analysis. Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements. They
are not a substitute for the exercise of one&#146;s own due diligence and judgment. The outcomes
anticipated in forward-looking statements may not occur and we do not undertake to update
forward-looking statements. These materials also contain certain non-GAAP financial measures.
Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and therefore are unlikely to be
comparable to similar measures used by other companies. For more information regarding these
non-GAAP measures, please see our 2007 Management&#146;s Discussion &#038; Analysis and the attached Third
Quarter 2008 Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Our methanol facilities in Chile produced 246,000 tonnes during the third quarter of 2008 compared
with 261,000 tonnes during the second quarter of 2008. We have natural gas supply contracts for
approximately 60% of our natural gas requirements for our production facilities in Chile with
natural gas suppliers in Argentina with the remaining natural gas supply coming from natural gas
suppliers in Chile. Since June&nbsp;2007, the government of Argentina has curtailed all natural gas
exports to our plants and we do not expect to receive natural gas supply from Argentina. We
currently source natural gas for our methanol facilities in Chile primarily from Empresa Nacional
del Petroleo (ENAP), the Chilean state-owned energy company, and from GeoPark Chile Limited
(GeoPark). Methanol production at our facilities in Chile was lower during the third quarter of
2008 compared with the second quarter of 2008 primarily as a result of lower natural gas supply
from ENAP due to production and deliverability issues as well as higher demand for natural gas
general use in southern Chile during the winter months.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We believe the solution to the issue of natural gas supply from Argentina is to continue to source
more natural gas from suppliers in Chile. On May&nbsp;5, 2008, we announced that we signed an agreement
with ENAP to accelerate natural gas exploration and development in the Dorado Riquelme exploration
block and supply natural gas to our production facilities in Chile. Under the arrangement, we
expect to contribute approximately $100&nbsp;million in capital, over a two to three year period to fund
a 50% participation in the block. The arrangement is subject to approval by the government of
Chile. We have invested $38&nbsp;million in the Dorado Riquelme block to date, of which approximately
$33&nbsp;million has been placed in escrow until final approval is received and approximately $5&nbsp;million
has been paid to fund development and exploration activities. We have been receiving some natural
gas deliveries from the Dorado Riquelme block since May&nbsp;2008. Also, in late 2007, we signed a
natural gas prepayment agreement with GeoPark under which we agreed to provide US$40&nbsp;million in
financing to support and accelerate GeoPark&#146;s natural gas exploration and development activities in
the Fell block in southern Chile. Under the arrangement, GeoPark will also provide us with natural
gas supply sourced from the Fell block under a 10-year exclusive supply agreement. GeoPark
continues increasing its deliveries of natural gas to our plants and during the third quarter of
2008 approximately 20% of total production at our Chile facilities was produced with natural gas
from the Fell block.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We continue to pursue other opportunities to invest to help accelerate natural gas exploration and
development in areas of southern Chile. In late 2007, the government of Chile completed an
international bidding round to assign natural gas exploration areas that lie close to our
production facilities and announced the participation of five international oil and gas companies.
Planning activities in these areas in southern Chile have commenced. On July&nbsp;16, 2008, we announced
that under the international bidding round, the government of Chile awarded the Otway hydrocarbon
exploration block in southern Chile to a consortium that includes Wintershall, GeoPark, and
ourselves. Wintershall and GeoPark each own a 42% interest in the consortium and we own a 16%
interest. Exploration work is expected to commence by the end of this year. The minimum exploration
investment committed in the block by the consortium for the first phase is US$11&nbsp;million over the
next three years.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We cannot provide assurance that ENAP, GeoPark or others will be successful in the exploration and
development of natural gas or that we would obtain any additional natural gas from suppliers in
Chile on commercially acceptable terms.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Our methanol facilities in Trinidad produced a total of 484,000 tonnes during the third quarter of
2008 compared with 517,000 tonnes during the second quarter of 2008. In July&nbsp;2008, we performed
unplanned repair work at our Titan facility resulting in approximately 30,000 tonnes of lost

compared with 124,000 tonnes during second quarter of 2008.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In early October, we restarted one of our two idled 900,000 tonne per year facilities at our
Motunui site in New Zealand and we shutdown our smaller scale 500,000 tonne Waitara Valley
facility. We plan to operate the larger scale Motunui facility until at least the middle of 2010.
We have become more optimistic about the longer term future of our New Zealand operations and
believe there is potential to operate the Motunui plant longer and potentially restart the Waitara
Valley plant. The continued operations of the New Zealand facilities are dependant upon the
methanol industry supply and demand dynamics and the availability of natural gas on commercially
acceptable terms.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We analyze the results of produced methanol sales separately from purchased methanol sales as the
margin characteristics of each are very different. We discuss changes in average realized price,
sales volumes and total cash costs related to our produced methanol sales whereas we discuss
purchased methanol on a net margin basis.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">For a further discussion of the definitions and calculations used in our Adjusted EBITDA analysis,
refer to <I>How We Analyze Our Business</I>.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">For the third quarter of 2008 we recorded Adjusted EBITDA of $140.4&nbsp;million and net income of $70.9
million ($0.75 per share on a diluted basis). This compares with Adjusted EBITDA of $78.9&nbsp;million
and net income of $38.9&nbsp;million ($0.41 per share on a diluted basis) for the second quarter of 2008
and Adjusted EBITDA of $68.6&nbsp;million and net income of $23.6&nbsp;million ($0.24 per share on a diluted
basis) for the third quarter of 2007.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">For the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008, we recorded Adjusted EBITDA of $346.4&nbsp;million and net
income of $175.4&nbsp;million ($1.83 per share on a diluted basis). This compares with Adjusted EBITDA
of $382.0&nbsp;million and net income of $204.0&nbsp;million ($1.98 per share on a diluted basis) during the

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We commenced 2008 in a tight methanol market environment as a result of planned and unplanned
supplier outages in the second half of 2007 and strong demand. At the beginning of 2008, our
average non-discounted posted pricing was approximately $775 per tonne. Into the second quarter of
2008, the methanol market rebalanced and methanol prices remained stable through the third quarter
of 2008. Our average non-discounted posted price for the third quarter of 2008 was $499 per tonne
compared with $489 per tonne for the second quarter of 2008 and $303 per tonne for the third
quarter of 2007. Our average realized price for the third quarter of 2008 was $413 per tonne
compared with $412 per tonne for the second quarter of 2008 and $270 per tonne for the third
quarter of 2007. For the third quarter of 2008 our average realized price was approximately 17%
lower than our average non-discounted posted price. This compares with approximately 16% lower for
the second quarter of 2008 and 11% lower for the third quarter of 2007. We have entered into
long-term contracts for a portion of our production volume with certain global customers where
prices are either fixed or linked to our costs plus a margin and accordingly, we expect the
discount from our average non-discounted posted prices to widen during periods of higher methanol
pricing.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">For the purposes of our Adjusted EBITDA analysis, we analyze changes in our average realized price
for sales of our produced methanol. The average realized price for sales of our produced methanol
will differ from the Methanex average realized price disclosed above as sales under long-term
contracts, where the prices are either fixed or linked to our costs plus a margin, are included as
sales of produced methanol. The change in our average realized price for produced methanol for the
third quarter of 2008 increased our Adjusted EBITDA by $16&nbsp;million compared with the second quarter
of 2008. Sales under long-term contracts represented a lower proportion of our produced methanol
sales volumes during the third quarter of 2008 compared with the second quarter of 2008 and this
resulted in a higher average realized price for produced methanol during the third quarter of 2008.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The change in our average realized price for produced methanol for the third quarter of 2008 and
nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008 compared with the same periods in 2007 increased our Adjusted
EBITDA by $131&nbsp;million and $262&nbsp;million, respectively. This was primarily a result of higher
methanol pricing in 2008 compared with 2007.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Sales volumes of produced methanol for the third quarter of 2008 and nine months ended September
30, 2008 were lower by 127,000 tonnes and 1,038,000 tonnes, respectively, compared with the same
periods in 2007 primarily as a result of lower production at our Chile facilities during 2008.
Lower sales volumes for these periods decreased Adjusted EBITDA by $14&nbsp;million and $139&nbsp;million,
respectively.

million. The decrease in our cash costs was primarily due to lower stock-based compensation as
result of the impact of a decrease in our share price on our stock-based compensation in the third
quarter of 2008.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Total cash costs for the third quarter of 2008 were higher than the third quarter of 2007 by $42
million. Natural gas costs and other costs for produced methanol for the third quarter of 2008 were
higher compared with the third quarter of 2007 by $52&nbsp;million primarily as a result of higher
methanol pricing in 2008. Ocean freight costs were higher for the third quarter of 2008 compared
with the third quarter of 2007 by $5&nbsp;million primarily as a result of higher fuel costs. Fixed
manufacturing costs were lower for the third quarter of 2008 compared with the third quarter of
2007 by $4&nbsp;million primarily as a result of lower fixed costs at our Chile facilities in 2008.
Stock-based compensation expense was lower for the third quarter 2008 compared with the third

ended September&nbsp;30, 2008 were higher compared with the same period in 2007 by $83&nbsp;million primarily
as a result of higher methanol pricing in 2008. Ocean freight costs were higher for the nine months
ended September&nbsp;30, 2008 compared with the same period in 2007 by $13&nbsp;million primarily as a result
of higher fuel costs. Total cash costs for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008 were also
higher by $10&nbsp;million compared with the same period in 2007 as a result of higher unabsorbed fixed
costs at our Chile facilities by $6&nbsp;million and higher selling, general and administrative expenses
by $4&nbsp;million as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates and timing of expenditures.
In-market logistics costs were higher by $5&nbsp;million for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008
compared with the same period in 2007. These higher in-market distribution costs have been
substantially recovered from customers and this recovery has been included in revenue. Stock-based
compensation expense was lower for nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008 compared with the same
period in 2007 by $10&nbsp;million primarily as result of the impact of a decrease in our share price in
the third quarter of 2008 on our stock-based compensation.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We purchase additional methanol produced by others through long-term and short-term offtake
contracts or on the spot market to meet customer needs and support our marketing efforts.
Consequently, we realize holding gains or losses on the resale of this product depending on the
methanol price at the time of resale. During the fourth quarter of 2007, as a result of reduced
production rates at our Chile facilities, we increased our purchasing levels to continue to meet
commitments to our customers. As these purchases were made in a period of significantly increasing
methanol pricing, we recorded cash margin on sale of purchased methanol of $35&nbsp;million during the
fourth quarter of 2007. In 2008, methanol pricing moderated from these high levels and we recorded
negative cash margin of $19&nbsp;million for the first quarter of 2008, a negative cash margin of $31
million for the second quarter, and a negative cash margin of $4&nbsp;million on the resale of purchased
methanol for the third quarter of 2008.

quarter of 2008 compared with the second quarter of 2008 was primarily due to higher sales volume
of produced methanol and higher unabsorbed depreciation costs.

for the second quarter of 2008. The decrease in interest and other income during the third quarter
of 2008 compared with the second quarter of 2008 was primarily due to the impact of changes in
foreign exchange gains and losses as well as a $5&nbsp;million gain on sale of ammonia production assets
during the second quarter of 2008.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Interest and other income for the third quarter of 2008 and nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008
decreased by $6&nbsp;million and $12&nbsp;million, respectively, compared with the same periods in 2007.
Interest and other income during 2008 was lower than 2007 due to the impact of lower interest rates
and lower cash balances during 2008 and the impact of changes in foreign exchange gains and losses.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2008 was 29% compared with 30% for the second
quarter of 2008 and 29% for the third quarter of 2007. The statutory tax rate in Chile and
Trinidad, where we earn a substantial portion of our pre-tax earnings, is 35%. Our Atlas facility
in Trinidad has partial relief from corporation income tax until 2014.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In Chile the tax rate consists of a first tier tax that is payable when income is earned and a
second tier tax that is due when earnings are distributed from Chile. The second tier tax is
initially recorded as future income tax expense and is subsequently reclassified to current income
tax expense when earnings are distributed. Accordingly, the ratio of current income tax expense to
total income tax expense is highly dependent on the level of cash distributed from Chile.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We commenced 2008 in a tight methanol market environment as a result of planned and unplanned
supplier outages in the second half of 2007. This resulted in high methanol prices during the first
quarter and into the second quarter which are unsustainable in a normal supply and demand
environment. During the second quarter of 2008, the methanol market rebalanced and methanol prices
have remained stable through the third quarter. As we entered the fourth quarter of 2008, methanol
prices have declined from the third quarter. In October, our average non-discounted price across
all of the major regions is approximately $450 per tonne.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The next increments of world scale capacity additions outside of China are two 1.7&nbsp;million tonne
per year plants under construction in Malaysia and Iran, and we expect product from both of these
plants to be available to the market later this year or in the first half of 2009. We also believe
that global methanol demand growth combined with the potential shutdown of high cost capacity
(mainly in China) could offset this new industry supply.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Overall, global methanol demand has been relatively stable, however demand for some derivatives has
weakened and the global financial crisis and weak economic environment poses uncertainty for our
business.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Demand for methanol in energy applications has been healthy as relatively high energy prices have
driven steady demand for fuel blending and di-methyl ether (DME)&nbsp;in China. If industrial production
growth rates in China and world oil prices are above historical averages, we believe methanol
demand in China will continue to grow at high rates as a result of strong traditional demand and
strong demand related to alternative fuel uses such as gasoline blending and DME. We also believe
that there is increasing pressure on the cost structure of the Chinese methanol industry as a
result of high feedstock costs for both coal and natural gas based producers in China, the
continued appreciation of the Chinese currency and reduced fiscal incentives for exports of
methanol introduced during 2007. In recent weeks, some high cost Chinese producers have shut down
or switched to fertilizer production in response to moderating methanol prices in China. During the
first quarter of 2008, China was a net exporter of methanol as a result of the very high methanol
price environment, which gave producers in China the incentive to export methanol. In the second
and third quarters of 2008 as methanol prices moderated China reverted back to being a net importer
of methanol. Due to the high cost position of many of the Chinese producers, we believe that
substantially all domestic methanol production in China will be consumed within the local market
and that imports of methanol into China will grow over time.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">accepted accounting standards
(GAAP), but there are significant differences in recognition, measurement and disclosures. As a
result, we are developing a plan to convert our consolidated financial statements to IFRS at the
changeover date of January&nbsp;1, 2011 with comparative financial results for 2010. We are currently in
the process of assessing the differences between IFRS and Canadian GAAP, as well as the
alternatives available on adoption. This assessment includes the impact of conversion on our
financial reporting and disclosure controls, information technology systems and other business
activities. We will continue to provide status updates in the Management&#146;s Discussion &#038; Analysis
over the course of the project.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In addition to providing measures prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP), we present certain supplemental non-GAAP measures. These are Adjusted
EBITDA, operating income and cash flows from operating activities before changes in non-cash
working capital. These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by Canadian GAAP
and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. We
believe these measures are useful in evaluating the operating performance and liquidity of the
Company&#146;s ongoing business. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a
substitute for, net income, cash flows and other measures of financial performance and liquidity
reported in accordance with Canadian GAAP.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">This supplemental non-GAAP measure is provided to assist readers in determining our ability to
generate cash from operations. We believe this measure is useful in assessing performance and
highlighting trends on an overall basis. We also believe Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by
securities analysts and investors when comparing our results with those of other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA differs from the most comparable GAAP measure, cash flows from operating
activities, primarily because it does not include changes in non-cash working capital, other cash
payments related to operating activities, stock-based compensation expense, other non-cash items,
interest expense, interest and other income, and current income taxes.

EBITDA:

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On May&nbsp;6, 2008 the Company filed a Notice of Intention to Make a Normal Course Issuer Bid with
Toronto Stock Exchange (&#147;TSX&#148;) pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to 7,909,393 common
shares of the Company, representing 10% of the public float of the issued and outstanding common
shares of the Company as at May&nbsp;2, 2008. This normal course issuer bid repurchase program, which is
carried out through the facilities of the TSX, commenced on May&nbsp;20, 2008 and will expire on the
earlier of May&nbsp;19, 2009 and the date upon which the Company has acquired the maximum number of
common shares permitted under the purchase program or otherwise decided not to make further
purchases. The Company has entered into an automatic securities purchase plan with its broker in
connection with purchases to be made under this program. Shareholders may obtain a copy of the
Notice of Intention without charge by contacting the Corporate Secretary at 604-661-2600.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Information contained in this Third Quarter 2008 Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis contains
forward-looking statements. Certain material factors or assumptions were applied in drawing the
conclusions or making the forecasts or projections that are included in these forward-looking
statements. Methanex believes that it has a reasonable basis for making such forward-looking
statements. However, forward-looking statements, by their nature, involve risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking
statements. The risks and uncertainties include those attendant with producing and marketing
methanol and successfully carrying out major capital expenditure projects in various jurisdictions,
the ability to successfully carry out corporate initiatives and strategies, conditions in the
methanol and other industries including the supply and demand balance for methanol, the success of
natural gas exploration and development activities in southern Chile and New Zealand and our
ability to obtain any additional gas in that region on commercially acceptable terms, actions of
competitors and suppliers, actions of governments and governmental authorities, our ability to
access credit on commercially reasonable terms, changes in laws or regulations in foreign
jurisdictions, world-wide economic conditions and other risks described in our 2007 Management&#146;s
Discussion &#038; Analysis and this Third Quarter 2008 Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis. Undue
reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements. They are not a substitute for the
exercise of one&#146;s own due diligence and judgment. The outcomes anticipated in forward-looking
statements may not occur and we do not undertake to update forward-looking statements.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We review our results of operations by analyzing changes in the components of our Adjusted EBITDA
(refer to <I>Supplemental Non-GAAP Measures </I>for a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure),
depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest and other income, unusual items and
income taxes. In addition to the methanol that we produce at our facilities, we also purchase and
re-sell methanol produced by others. We analyze the results of produced methanol sales separately
from purchased methanol sales as the margin characteristics of each are very different.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Methanex-Produced Methanol</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Our production facilities generate the substantial portion of our Adjusted EBITDA, and accordingly,
the key drivers of changes in our Adjusted EBITDA for produced methanol are analyzed separately.
The key drivers of changes in our Adjusted EBITDA for produced methanol are average realized price,
sales volume and cash costs. Changes in Adjusted EBITDA related to our produced methanol include
sales of methanol from our facilities in Chile, Trinidad and New Zealand.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The price, cash cost and volume variances included in our Adjusted EBITDA analysis for produced
methanol are defined and calculated as follows:

period in the selling price of produced methanol multiplied by the
current period sales volume of produced methanol. Sales under
long-term contracts where the prices are either fixed or linked to
our costs plus a margin are included as sales of produced methanol.
Accordingly, the selling price of produced methanol will differ
from the selling price of purchased methanol.</TD>

    <TD>These interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in Canada on a basis consistent with those followed in the most
recent annual consolidated financial statements, except as described in Note 2 below. These
accounting principles are different in some respects from those generally accepted in the United
States and the significant differences are described and reconciled in Note 16. These interim
consolidated financial statements do not include all note disclosures required by Canadian
generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements, and therefore should
be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements included in the

    <TD>On January&nbsp;1, 2008, the Company adopted the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (&#147;CICA&#148;)
Handbook Section&nbsp;3031 <I>Inventories</I>, Section&nbsp;1535 <I>Capital Disclosures</I>, Section&nbsp;3862 <I>Financial
Instruments &#151; Disclosure </I>and Section&nbsp;3863 <I>Financial Instruments &#151; Presentation</I>. Section&nbsp;3031
provides more extensive guidance on the measurement and disclosure of inventory. The adoption of
this standard has had no impact on the Company&#146;s measurement of inventory. Section&nbsp;1535
establishes standards for disclosing information about an entity&#146;s capital and how it is
managed. Sections&nbsp;3862 and 3863 revise and enhance disclosure and presentation of financial
instruments and place increased emphasis on disclosures about the nature and extent of risks
arising from financial instruments and how those risks are managed.</TD>

replaces Section&nbsp;3062 <I>Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. </I>Section&nbsp;3064 expands on the

    <TD>Compensation expense for deferred, restricted and performance share units is initially
measured at fair value based on the market value of the Company&#146;s common shares and is
recognized over the related service period. Changes in fair value are recognized in earnings
for the proportion of the service that has been rendered at each reporting date. The fair
value of deferred, restricted and performance share units at September&nbsp;30, 2008 was $22.7
million compared with the recorded liability of $19.2&nbsp;million. The difference between the
fair value and the recorded liability of $3.5&nbsp;million will be recognized over the weighted

may result in significant cash flow and profit volatility risk for the Company. Its
worldwide operating business as well as its investment and financing activities are affected
by changes in methanol and natural gas prices and interest and foreign exchange rates. The

fluctuate based on supply and demand fundamentals and other factors. Accordingly it is

components to reduce the commodity price risk exposure. The variable price component is

obligations. Approximately two thirds of its debt obligations are subject to interest at
fixed rates. We also seek to limit this risk through the use of interest rate swaps

fixed rates of interest.</TD>

    <TD>The Company has entered into interest rate swap contracts to hedge the variability in
LIBOR-based interest payments on its Egypt limited recourse debt facilities described in
Note 13. The notional amount increases over the period of expected drawdowns on the
Egypt limited recourse debt and decreases over the expected repayment period. The
aggregate impact of these contracts is to swap the LIBOR-based interest payments for a
fixed rate of 4.8% on approximately 75% of the Egypt limited recourse debt facilities
for the period September&nbsp;28, 2007 to March&nbsp;31, 2015. The net fair value of cash flow
interest rate swaps was negative $11.9&nbsp;million as at September&nbsp;30, 2008. The change in
fair value of the interest rate swaps assuming a 1% decrease in the interest rates along
the yield curve would be negative $16.9&nbsp;million as of September&nbsp;30, 2008.</TD>

    <TD>Methanol is a global commodity chemical which is priced in United States dollars. In
certain jurisdictions, however, the transaction price is set either quarterly or monthly
in local currency. Accordingly, a portion of our revenue is transacted in Canadian
dollars, euros and to a lesser extent other currencies. For the period from when the
price is set in local currency to when the amount due is collected, we are exposed to
declines in the value of these currencies compared to the United States dollar, which
could have the effect of decreasing the United States dollar equivalent of our revenue.
We also purchase varying quantities of methanol for which the transaction currency is
the euro and to a lesser extent other currencies. In addition, some of our underlying
operating costs and capital expenditures are incurred in other currencies. We are
exposed to increases in the value of these currencies that could have the effect of
increasing the United States dollar equivalent of cost of sales and operating expenses
and capital expenditures.</TD>

located in New Zealand and Chile. Under Canadian GAAP, the business combination was

combination would have been accounted for as a purchase with the Company identified as the
acquirer. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, an increase to depreciation expense by $0.5&nbsp;million
(2007 &#151; $0.5&nbsp;million) and $1.4&nbsp;million (2007 &#151; $1.4&nbsp;million) was recorded for the three and

compensated. For Canadian GAAP purposes, no compensation expense has been recorded as these
options were granted in 2001 which is prior to the effective implementation date for fair
value accounting under Canadian GAAP. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, an adjustment to

    <TD>Effective January&nbsp;1, 2006, U.S. GAAP requires the Company to measure the funded status of a
defined benefit pension plan at its balance sheet reporting date and recognize the
unrecorded overfunded or underfunded status as an asset or liability with the change in that
unrecorded funded status recorded to other comprehensive income. Under U.S. GAAP, all
deferred pension amounts from Canadian GAAP are reclassified to accumulated other
comprehensive income. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, an increase to other comprehensive
income of $0.2&nbsp;million (2007 &#151; $0.2&nbsp;million) and $0.5&nbsp;million (2007 &#151; $0.7&nbsp;million) was

    <TD>U.S. GAAP requires interests in joint ventures to be accounted for using the equity method.
Canadian GAAP requires proportionate consolidation of interests in joint ventures. The
Company has not made an adjustment in this reconciliation for this difference in accounting
principles because the impact of applying the equity method of accounting does not result in
any change to net income or shareholders&#146; equity. This departure from U.S. GAAP is
acceptable for foreign private issuers under the practices prescribed by the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission.</TD>
